That's looking very good Paul. Looks like a more interesting build than the Orrery

Cheers Mark. I think it's a better build than the solar system. What puts me off though is the way I've been treated by Eaglemoss customers services. Since my local newsagent closed I've had nothing but problems with Eaglemoss partworks.

Details of metal or metallized plastic?

Nearly all metal. Some plastic washers and the ''orbs'' are either plastic or resin. This is going to be heavy when finished.

11 days and 2 deliveries, bloody hell. I have to say sorry for the photo quality camera phone. 3 digital cameras in 1 year, not good, now waiting for christmas for a new one (fingers crossed). Photo 1:- parts (again) Photo 2:- Parts added. There is also a gear added to the underside of the base plate, I'll show that when the next delivery comes. Up to issue 40 now, only 12 to go. Next stage is adding the motor, gearbox and speed controller, also finishing off the large drum base and legs.

Guys, just to let you know I'm still here. I've now got issues up to 47, so only 5 to go. I haven't been around a lot because I've been trying to find a job since Jan 4th, got made redundent first day back after christmas, bummer.
I put some photos up in the next couple of days.
I've also started getting back into my Bismarck, so my build thread should be updated as well.

And finally for today an assembled photo. I have tried the tellurion with the power supply from the solar system and it runs like a dream. I'll get a video up when the last parts are here.
